The Country Club Stomp! (Flexible Instrument-
ation)—JaRod Hall. Experience a New Orleans
vibe with this exciting, parade-inspired crowd
pleaser! The lively work is based on an
infectious rhythmic groove and spirited melody.

to the West African circle dances from which
this music evolved are used effectively. Stellar
writing that is fun, catchy, and informative! With
this flexible arrangement, conductors no longer
need to choose between function and texture.
Ensembles with instrumentation challenges still
have numerous options to cover all parts, yet
orchestration is elevated significantly to be faithful
to the composer's original intent. Musicians have
more opportunities to rest, and timbre once again
becomes a central element of the work. It's the
best of both worlds: flexible and colorful! (3:00)
